Help: RUST

Pascal:  My last response to you was off of the "top of my head" so to
speak--and some of your comment  deserves a more thoughtful response, so I
will think on it before I write more.

Clearly many people have given this issue a great of deal of thought and
probably trials with fungicide, etc., to no further gain than we currently
have.

I am an amateur, from a different discipline, with a totally different
background.  Because of this I bring a different perspective, which may have
some use in modifying an approach to problems with arisaema.  Maybe not.
Cordially, Adam .

Adam,

As you say yourself, there are many types of rust so the treatment of all
the different forms can not be uniform like you suggest. This particular
type of rust seems restricted to Arisaema and does occur in wild populations
of triphyllum so the influence of cultivation can be neglected. As Ray
already
mentioned, Arisaema rust spreads easily and the only option is to destroy
the infected plants. Destroying an entire collection seems somewhat over
the top  because not all species are equally vulnerable (section Pedatisecta
seems most vulnerable) but of the many pests and diseases that can affect
Arisaema, viruses and Arisaema rust are the ones that can not be treated.
Destroying infected plants when the first signs of one of these 2 show is
the only option unfortunately.
